1 Letting the Good Times Roll Since 1975 November 2015 Volume 40 Number 5 Friday October 23rd, seven members braved to trek across the desert and join up in Palm Springs for the 2015 Great Western Fan Belt Toss & Swap Meet. It was Tucson-like weather but with large numbers of our favorite automobiles and several vendors. Saturday we setup the club space and sold some items but as the day progressed and items stopped selling we had our "Corvair-crier" Thomas use his loud voice and persuasive voice to get most of the items left on our blue tarp to disappear. Then in usual Thomas fashion he won a raffle during the day, at the Banquet later that evening, then again the following day. He also acquired many free parts from other folks. Ron and Mike scored an engine and wagon(nice), Sam sold lots of tins, Bill was able to keep his Corsanova powers in check, I found some nice 95 heads and Otto covers. Many of us took advantage of the discounts Clark's and Mike's Corvairs offered. It was a good meeting, start getting ready for 2016.

It was Saturday morning the first 10 teams receive t-shirts "Rule #1" comprised of Bill "Corsanova" Maynard and Sam "140" Pernu and The Trejo family consisting of Gloria and Javier "Town Crier" Trejo. The teams battled on in their own divisions and by midday the semifinals held a TCA team. Unfortunately both teams choked and at the end of the semifinal round both teams had fallen. Kudos to the Tucson Corvair Association for having a semi finalists in each division. Bill has graciously constructed several pairs of belt toss boards and now we can start practicing at our events and meetings.

Ask- President s Message First I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Once again, as we sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, please keep Ken and Heide in your prayers. This is a time to be thankful for all we have in life. One of the things I'm most thankful for is the friends and experiences I have had since joining the club. Both have had a positive impact on my life. Thank you all for that. Our meeting this month is a week early, on the 18th, hope to see you all there. Sam and I had a chance to experience the Speedway Cruise event Saturday night. What I found so amazing was the sheer number of cars that came out to this event that I have never seen before. Everything from original 60's drag cars, 60's cruisers like Caddy's, Buicks and Oldsmobiles to muscle cars from all makes. Early coupes were in attendance as were Gasser style cars. I was not the only air cooled car there as there was a VW bug in attendance.of course there was also a group of "Fancy Falcons" on hand. There is always a bad apple in every bunch! For those who like cars, this is a must attend event next year! Don't forget the Christmas party is on Dec 9th at 6:00PM Location Golden Coral, 22nd and Columbus, Banquet room. There will be a White Elephant gift exchange ( $20.00 max) and a silent auction. Please come share the holiday celebration with us. Happy Thanksgiving, Mike FOR SALE 1963 Corvair Greenbriar. Automatic transmission, body is solid, glass is good. Was running when I parked it at my brother s in Marana. I was a long haul tuck driver. Was planning to restore it when I retired. I m now retired, but I am not a mechanic, nor do I have the tools or knowledge to overhaul the engine. It was a dream that I cannot realistically complete. I m hoping that someone can take my dream and run with it. Any reasonable offer will be considered. azrnmkr@cox.net Seller is David.
4 Big Bore Motors made with Mercedes & VW Parts Van Pershing Last time in the Corvairsation we told a little of the story of Gary Du Plessis of Pietermaritz- Fast forward a from where our story ended last time: Gary undertook a big bore project about three years ago for friend, Henty Van Der Merwe, who lives in Grahamstown, South Africa. Henty asked him if he d ever thought about building a Corvair motor with a really large bore. He immediately replied that he had always dreamed of such a project but the cost would be phenomenal. How would he do it? Using a crank stroked to specs; Volkswagen Vanagon 2-liter barrels; and Mercedes Benz 280se pistons and rings. That brings the cost to this point to about 8,000 Rand (about US$700). Henty decides he ll fund the project but he wants him to build two motors. One from him and the other for Gary! He started with a 60 crankcase which appeared to him to be just as strong as any and machined in the rod reliefs. The cylinders had to be machined so they would fit into the case properly. Once a trial assembly was done, he fabricated 14mm spacers to bring the Vanagon barrels to the same height as the standard Corvair barrels, which also had to have some machine work on the outside to accommodate the Corvair stud spacing. Vanagon barrels were chosen over the 94mm big bore VW Beetles units because they are a mm thicker and would enable them to be bored to fit the Merc pistons at 95.5mm. Two millimeters were shaved of the Mercedes piston tops to bring everything into sync. The rods are 65 Corvair machined for full-floating pins. Audi- Golf big-end rod bearings were used to save on cost plus the bearings are readily available. The Audi-Golf bearing at 0.010" under is exactly the same as the Corvair at standard. Some work had to be done on the fitting the piston pins. Henty installed the motor in his 60 4-door and says: My 3.2 liter big bore is a bit of a beast, but I love it! 14mm spacers were fabricated to bring the height of the Vanagon cylinders up to the same height as the Corvair s. The heads had to be opened up to accommodate the Vanagon cylinders. After boring the cylinders to fit the 95.5mm Mercedes pistons, 2mm of material had to be removed from the tops of the pistons. The Vanagon cylinder fins had to be reworked so the Corvair head stud pattern would fit.
5 Speaking of El Corvinos. As many of you know, TCA member Frank Trejo recently acquired a Corvair station wagon that had been converted into a pickup truck, ala El Camino. Here are some examples of other station wagon have had similar conversions. None look as nice as the Corvair.except maybe the green 56 Chevy. Plymouth Studebaker Ford Chevy Mercury Cadillac Chevy Chevy
